DIY Nautical Rope Wall Mirror

We love this do-it-yourself project for a Rope Wall Mirror, created by Martha Stewart.

Finished Rope Wall Mirror

Tools and Materials

• 1/2-inch-thick natural-fiber rope (from home-supply stores)
• Unframed 10-inch round mirror
• Cement glue
• Painters' tape
• Tape measure (to measure your rope length)

Measure and cut 2 segments of rope, one to fit around the mirror’s outer edge, the other to fit just inside the first.

Glue rope to mirror, lining up the ends for a neat seam

Rope Seams and Knot End

Secure with painters' tape until dry.

Once dry, make a knotted hanger: Cut a 45-inch length of rope, and tie a knot on both ends (we used a variation on the figure-eight knot; see diagram).

Figure 8 Knot

Glue knotted ends of rope to sides of mirror; one knot should cover the seams.

Secure with painters' tape until dry.

Spring and Summer Accent Colors

Finally, Spring has sprung. And it's time to add some pops of color to our decor.

We've put together a sampling of complimentary and accent colors for you.

For a bright beach pop, you can mix blue, lime green, yellow or orange, with turquoise.

Colors that work with Turquoise

For a more relaxed, subtle Beach Cottage style, try a few of these colors together.

The sky and beige color combination is our favorite. A reminder of blue skies and sand at the beach.

What is your go-to color combination for Spring and Summer?

Welcome Spring, we're glad you're back!
